Sophia Ho on Arlington, Burlington, Sidman - Leventhal Jewish Community Center in Newton ,Arlington director told her she'd _love to have a center that included seniors and little children. Deleted: Sophia Ho visited. ... Burlington director wanted to have a center that separates the ages, because it is so much trouble to have them together. Then we (also Nancy Adler and Laura Hussong) went to the Jewish Community ... ... ....... ........ ....... ........ ........ ........ ....... ..... Center, they serve primarily young families and people who exercise. No teens to speak of. Didn't say Deleted. , we can guess why. why She feels having a CC will have big coordinating issues. Harwich and Chatham. Florence visited these two sites. Harwich was extraordinary in every way. Built in 2000, has a senior area with lots of different types of rooms, area for toddlers and young mothers. There are two floors, 5 meeting rooms, 4 very large so they can be made smaller. There are one or two small ones, too, for private consultation. Logistics: 8000 people come in every (month ?). They have many multi - purpose rooms, they allow 15 minutes between classes for custodians to move chairs etc for the next group. Sometimes they don't even have that much time! Local TV is there, too, so can do programming from the CC. Mixing of ages? Biggest problem was, when they were going to move toddlers away, seniors wanted the babies around!! Just come to one Halloween party or event and you see a true community.
